CEPF participated in a conference that addressed the current state of “integrated” forest management approaches, organised by INFORMAR and POLYFORES from 26-28 February 2020 in Bonn, Germany.

European Forest Week was celebrated for the first time in 2008 and it offers a unique opportunity to raise the visibility of forest sector and to influence pan-European and global discussions related to forests.

On 31 October and 1 November, informal discussion will start again on possible negotiations on a Legally Binding Agreement (LBA) after the decision was made to transmit this file from Forest Europe to UNECE and FAO.

Just a month after the publication of the Communication on Stepping up EU Action to Protect and Restore the World’s Forests, thousands of fires are burning in the world's biggest rainforest and in Central Africa. Implementation actions against deforestation are now the key.
